Most of this isn't as hard as it looks - the stride piano can be simplified by dropping the lowest note in doubled octaves, and the fingering is pretty reasonable in the right hand. Might need to start playing this a little slower than Hiromi though! Sheet music at georgecolliermusic.com :)
*but if you play it exactly like this performance then yeah you're gonna have a very hard time because Hiromi is so talented ;)
"Most of this isn't as hard as it looks"
That still leaves plenty of room for it being literally impossible
Oh yeah, it definitely isn't as hard as it looks, because to someone like me, it looks literally impossible :P
I've played this before. Trust me, it's fucking hard
Just to add, Hiromi's handspan is an octave and she even has a hard time doing those according to an interview "Hiromi: The Solo Piano Sorcery of Place To Be."
I could tell she was possessed by the Jazz Gods before she sounded a single note. They live in her hair.
Thanks for the smile 😊
@@sanfernvalley619 wholesome comment :D
The savagery haha
like the rat man from rat the too wee from the disney rat move thing
@@pifre3051 lmao, bone apple tea
Ah yes! Hiromi shes such a scary good jazz pianist and super strict.
Lmao one time I got to go to a private house master class with a Tony Grey, a bass player who record and toured with her and he told everyone that every morning he and the other bandmates would wake up with a hand written note that detailed every single mistake they got wrong the night before.
Loved Hiromi's trio when Tony was playing bass!
@@cooldebt same, I haven’t been able to get into her stuff with Phillips and Jackson as much. It’s less eccentric
I had no idea she was strict like that, but it makes sense given her virtuosic playing. Usually to get that damn good you need to be strict on yourself, so it's understandable to expect the same level of dedication of your band mates.
I've only gotten to see her once, when she returned to the Montreal jazz festival and played with Edmar Castaneda. I still can't believe they choose Place To Be as their second encore. I absolutely adore that song and had been hoping they'd play it. I was ready to be disappointed, but instead I got to hear something quite special.
Absolutely brutal!
@@Bobbias indeed! He also told me that when they were recording her album Hiromi always went with the first take. Sometimes they would record the song two or three times but she always chose the first take.
That just shows how talented her other bandmates were.
But yeah Tony was an incredible nice guy and skilled bass player. He was touring with Ian Ian during his galactic duo so after he the master class he let the audience member have a jam session before putting on a mini concert for us.
Really nice guy!
The look of pure joy and happiness in her face as she plays is amazing.
That's the video
Joy? She looks totally deranged, which is even better!
That's the video
being able to get to the 8th grade easy. having fun while playing is hard
Met Hiromi early this year, she is a loving person, very professional, and also a perfectionist. After a show that went incredible, I asked how did it go, and she replied she could do better. Such a talented young woman!
She looks exactly how you would imagine someone playing this piece would look like and I love it
She looks like you might expect of someone who listened to it. I need a shower and a cigarette
Batshit crazy
That's probably why she does it
@don joe No she is not actually possessed by demons. It's OK
i wish she had done up her hair pretty neatly like a diva
Hiromi is such an excellent pianist, the emotions she shows on her face are always unbelievable.
You can tell she absolutely loves what she does.
Don't get me wrong, she looks like she's having an orgasm from the sound of the piano that she played, and at the end she felt relieve ☺️
True. Terrible actor, though.
@@NapalmLlama actor?
Pity they don't extend to her playing...
Not only does she got soul, she's got maybe twelve more spare souls
the fact that she's doing it without a grimace of concentration shows that she really loves to play
Amazing, though she looks like she was locked in a basement until she could play this perfectly and was so happy to be out of there.
well not out of there yet because she still has to play it
she probably did that to herself at some point in her life cus holy shit she's THAT good
Probably
GURL, I´M GONNA PLAY MY HEART OUT ON THIS SHOW, THEY´LL NEVER LOCK ME UP AGAIN, HIHIHIHIHIH 🤪
them asian parents be wildin
I love the "Thanks the Jazz gods" and other things you add to the transcriptions
"thank the jazz Gods"
"possessed by jazz demons"
Well, which one is it, Jazzus or Beezlebop?
@@Klabbity_Kloots jod
It isn't just George who adds those things, this was transcribed by Tony Williams, who, afaik, added that all on their own.
‘Played an e’
The “feel time freely” and “turn scales into a slide” made me crack up for some reason I can’t explain. XD
I watched this video expecting to laugh, and it almost made me cry. This person plays with unimaginable talent and a pure joy of music.
That piano probably filed a restraining order, holy moly she was TICKLIN them keys.
She is not possessed. In Jazz hell, she runs the show.
@hrt sgwr "fOR ThE lASt TImE, It’S tHE HAPpY HOtE-“
she cant get possessed by the jazz demons because she IS the jazz demon
There is not such thing as a Jazz Hell. Hell, there's no such thing as Hell. Maybe country Hell.
This is a second pianist away from becoming a black MIDI and I love that
Then who's the first? 😳
@@blanked3 Marc-Anderè Hamelin
@@blanked3 I believe he meant that you'd need a second pianist playing at the same time for it to become a black midi
Nah. Not that hard at all.
Check out her duo work with Chick Corea ;)
Salute to the mortal who wrote the notes the jazz god just played. Man that is a crazy amount of notes spewed out at an incredible pace
Yeah who wrote it? How??
Yeah pure insanity
It's here own piece, she wrote it.
Super fast and doesn't feel mechanical. She is really possesed. Love it!!
Every time I remember Hiromi exists I remember that the world has lots of positive things too
Beautifully said
Nope
Only positive to look forward to is nuclear annihilation
@@MikehMike01 well I'm somewhat prepared for that if I survive it but I'd rather be optimistic
Hiromi is not a "jazz musician." She is a force of nature, a totally unique voice in the world of groove improvisation.
Perfect description
"a totally unique VOICE (2011) in the world of groove improvisation."
Well she ain’t improvising so probably she’s not jazz musician
ugh
super freak talent sure, but how can anyone enjoy this finger banging on random keys?
I was lucky enough to watch Hiromi live back when I was a child like 10-11 years old if I remember correctly. I even shaked her miracle hands. We were the same height.
God I love Hiromi so so much. Extremely talented and disciplined. Definitely my favorite modern jazz pianist, if not general jazz artist
The face, the hair, the hands, it all points to it: she is definitely on at least 3 cups of coffee
"I may have a bird on my head, and my hands haven't stopped shaking since last week; but I can do this"
More like three pots of coffee
I'm starting to see the correlation between hair strenght and musical intelligence
Hair.... strength?
@@josephbogart6604 yes, when it goes up, it is strong
@@TrisnoadiWikantoro are we still talking about hair?
@@josephbogart6604 I do. But you seem to talk about something boneless
@@TrisnoadiWikantoro is English your second or third language?
Honestly hair goals
WOWWWWWWWWWW
2:18 to 2:38
never felt goosebumps that strongly from music. incredible
I adore her. The talent, the speed, the sheer ecstasy on her face as she plays and the terrible hair that looks like she hasn’t brushed it for a week. I feel all of it.
Thankyou George.
I’ve been introduced to so many wonderful musicians because of these posts ❤️
It looks like she hasn't brushed it for a week because her hands have been busy practicing that piece!!
you mean amazing hair of an eccentric genius!
Her hair is not unbrushed - it's electrified!
Don't you dare talk about her hair like that! 😉
When you realise this is her like almost 20 years ago and she's only gotten better with age. What a Queen!
It's good to know that the spirit of jazz is alive and well. RIP Howling Jimmy Jefferson
This lady is unbelievable. The best part of her performance was the look of joy on her face. Wonderful smile, and so completely part of her music.
Hiromi walked past me to get to the autograph table once. I was amazed at how tiny a person she is. I do not condone it, but she could very easily fit into a duffel bag.
XD
Senri Kawaguchi is about that size and drumming sounds like beefy Billy Cobham. The smallest of the small is Reol, who weighs maybe eighty pounds.
Yes officer, this post here.
yes she's a very tiny person! how did she get so small? she reminds me of my smallest relative
@@Joe-oh5ch
She was too busy practicing to drink her milk and vegetables.
I'm really enjoying all the Hiromi transcriptions. She is timeless
Standing Ovation both to that performance and your incredible ability to transcribe it!
She's not possed, she trained her ass off and now she's reaping the benefits and joy that not many can ever afford. Bravo 👏 👏 👏 young star.
Not sure what is more impressive:
The playing or the transcription of it....
well done!
The playing. Definitely the playing.
She is playing by transcription)
@@robinsarchiz how do you think she plays tho
@@hiryu70 Yea she's playing from this transcription on the video of her playing, that's how she learned the piece.
I wish I could have as much fun doing something as Hiromi has when playing the piano.
thank you for adding the music sheet so we all can play along 😩
Been listening to this composition for years and it's such a treat to see a live performance of it. Just as manic as it sounds.
This has the essence of Mario Kart and I'm living for it
You wouldn't be a Zorsy (of The Consouls) fan would you? He was the one who put me on to Hiromi some years ago. I've been hooked on The Consouls VGM jazz and Hiromi for years.
i came here expecting to find a comment pointing how much it relates to mario games, thank you for making it 😌
If you want some true Mario Kart vibes, check out groups like Dimension, Casiopea, and T-Square
She probably started the gig with her hair straight and neat and like a cartoon, her hair went crazy from the energy! Amazing performance and transcription 💜
I don't know why, but I dig the hair. It just screams "musical genius."
1:59 "okay then" just about sums it up. Some truly scary ink on that page.
This seems like some kind of weird demonic possession of her life to playing like that.
True 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Mark M receives the George Collier Title Award for today
@@GeorgeCollier Oh sick
Never thought you could get out of breath playing piano, let alone by listening to it.
😆
Dang I remember my friend showing me this vid in middle school. Can’t believe I forgot about this until the algorithm gods blessed me with it over a decade later
I honestly don't know what is more impressive, playing this or transcribing it
the fastest beautiful music I ever heard. super melodic. I'm not sure how much of it is improvised because she tends to improvise.
I think most of her playing 1:27-2:04 is improvised
"Possessed by jazz demons" sure is a weird way of saying "snorted six lines of coke".
I’m literally crying, I can’t catch my breath, and my heart is beating out of my chest
“Played An E…. : Okay Then”
Perfectly encapsulates me trying to sight read this abomination
this is what they talk about the instrument becoming an extension of you. this was amazing
I love how Hiromi could be the cutest being while playing Pachelbel, but also being a jazzy version of Bellatrix Lestrange here.
Even Willie “the Lion” Smith would bow to her.
"how did you break your fingers?"
"oh, I'm a pianist"
Please do more stuff with her. I’m obsessed
She plays faster than the speed of comprehension.
She extracts jazzacious energy from all corners of the polycosm.
Imagine waking up to jazzy tunes in the middle of the night , and you see this vision in the darkness , and be even more creeped out remembering that you don't even own a piano.
This is why you learn your scales, kids.
1:34 flight of the bumblebee, lmao
To paraphrase Warren Zevon...'her hair was perfect'
I like to imagine her individuality exploded out of a highly collectivist society like a gas tank under pressure that finally bursts, showering mad creativity everywhere and leaving her hair permanently fried.
That nested on 82 though....
Also definitely should have added the " :D " on this one at 1:10, would have been so perfect
2:31 literally the phattest chord to ever bless my ears
how tf did you manage to transcribe this you absolute laddddddddd❤❤❤
seeing hiromi perform live was amazing. i was lucky to see such energy and passion!
0:47 Uh-oh, Uh-oh,
Uh-oh, Uh-oh,
Here
We
Go!
What I love is the manic smile. It fits how crazy the music is.
TH-cam may be a hellscape but it never misses with the recommends
The black midi was my favorite. Also that 2/4 back to 4/4 signature at the end murdered it. What a genius
2:44 her hands are like little goblins jumping around at inhumane speeds cheese n rise-
I think literally every video I've ever seen of this woman is the most unhinged piano playing I've ever seen in my life.
I was blessed to have seen her perform live twice, once with Stanley Clarke and again as her Trio Project with Simon Phillips and Anthony Jackson. Those shows i will never forget.
2:10 feels like Mario music
That's funny to me because Zorsy (The Consouls) got me into Hiromi. I've been a fan of VGM jazz and Hiromi for many years now and have enjoyed so much good jazz as a result.
@@cooldebt hell yeah
If this were an anime you would be seeing her hair glowing and flowing as Haki oozed out of her skin right now.
Props to Hiromi for playing that, and props to you for Notating it... I wouldn't know where or how to start that
A dose of Hiromi is always good for the soul.
The new “Soul 2” movie looks great. 👌🏼👌🏼
"There's a reason I'm on top daddio. And it ain't just the crown."
possessed by the demi-gods of jazz and god himself was like yeah thats better than me
hiromi's amazing, her duets with chick corea are some of the greatest piano-only recordings of all time (rip chick
Why is nobody talking about 2:25? that was juicy
Hiromi transformed into a Super Saiyan - hence the hair
Not even George Gershwin could’ve thought that jazz would ever reach such intricate levels!
*a wild Gershwin has appeared!*
idk what’s more impressive, her playing this or the fact that he transcribed this
It is a pleasure seeing Hiromi having fun these insane pieces. Love her!
There's a difference between writing the music before the performance and writing it after. Jazz is the thinking-man's headache.
this was less than three minutes but it’s so rich you’d think it was an entire movie
glissandon’t stop making these transcripts George
glissan-do watch 30 second music theory videos with rgb alligators
oh my gosh I love Seth he’s awesome
She's just stimming hard as fuck and we all have the privilege of listening.
It's Morphin' time! (Piano turns into a robot and flies away aggressively with feeling, at 210 bpm)
The queen of jazz piano
Hiromi's album with Chick Corea would have been one of my all time Jazz favourites, wouldn't it be for the sound of a dishwasher in the background. This still annoys me so much to this day.
Huh?
@@jakeperalta4670 They recorded a live album in a restaurant in Tokyo, I think, it is amazing. But you hear the clinking and rattling of cuttlery in the background, and it is so unbelievably annoying, at least to me.
th-cam.com/video/XaNk19CQfto/w-d-xo.html
The fucking clinking of silverware in that video drives me insane
I know this is infuriating, like a 3 years old doodling on the Mona Lisa
This is the music that plays when you beat every Gran Turismo game 100% in one sitting
This is how I imagined Yoko Kanno made the soundtrack for Cowboy Bebop.
At this speed I'd say that this is the hardest piano piece I've ever seen.
Then you didn't see anything.
@@marcossidoruk8033 man the unnecessarily rude reply from some random self proclaimed music expert took longer than I thought
@@Dexter26958 not rude, nor I proclaimed myself to be a music expert. In any case whose being dishonest and rude is you.
I just think it is blatantly obvious that if you think this is the hardest piano piece then you know next to nothing about piano, it doesn't take a music expert to realize that.
@@marcossidoruk8033 you managed to say a lot of words without saying a thing
@@siinxx7656 Then you can't read.
List of things I said:
1. I was not being rude
2. I didn't proclaim to be a music expert
3. Considering that he did accuse me of that, he is being dishonest and rude
4. If one person thinks this is the hardest piano piece ever, he knows nothing about the piano repertoire.
5. It doesn't take a music expert to realise 5
Furthermore, that is absolutely not "a lot of words" that is a fairly short paragraph and you thinking it is long is further proof of your illiteracy.
I love how she's having a blast haha
The mad scientist of piano.
This is the first video I watched after waking up. I sat in silence for to minutes going over echoes of the song in my head. Very strange experience. Amazingly technical.
Hiromi is the most expressive musician I swear
Give a try to Yamandu Costa (maybe start with ritmo colombiano !)
